Did you know Maastricht University offers a course in PBL training and Dutch culture to help familiarize students with their new environment? Check it out here!

Maastricht University is proud of its Problem Based Learning (PBL) system. However, we are aware that it can be quite a challenge for students who are new to it. In order to make them familiar with the PBL system as fast as possible, we have designed the Academic Skills and Acculturation course, which is designed to help you adapt to the Problem Based Learning environment and explore academic communication skills required at Maastricht University. Moreover, the programme will also focus on Dutch culture, making it a perfect start to get to know the Netherlands a bit better! The course takes place between the 10th and 13th of August.
For more information and registration please visit our Summer School website.

Note: due to the inclusion of the cultural aspect, this course aims at incoming non-EU students.
